Emily is a Resilience Coach who works with emergency medical services, veterans, trauma, recovery and athletes.

As a mountain medic and whitewater guide in the 1990’s, she developed abilities to work with people under pressure in extreme environments. She took river guiding and outdoor medicine into a leadership role as Education Director for the Headwaters Institute the funding for which collapsed in the wake of the '9-11' attack. She adapted to the abrupt changes in her career by channeling her love of trauma healing, medicine, physical movement, and guiding people to states of connection to nature and presence to a lifelong study of human optimization and consciousness. Intrinsic is the evolved edition of her practice. She is passionate about serving those on our front lines in the EMS, Fire, military, and combat veterans as well as high-level performers such as athletes and entrepreneurs.

Emily has shared over 16,000 hours of contact time as an embodied movement teacher and medicinal breath coach. She has advanced studies in yoga, adaptive Thai Yoga, Biofeedback, Breath as Medicine, Art of Breath and Integrative Nutrition. She is also a Level IV whitewater kayak teacher, bow hunter, and avid skier. Emily ensures an integrative, science-based approach informs all of her offerings.

Emily coaches evidence-based Intrinsic Skills to wounded veterans year-round with Challenge Aspen Military Opportunities (CAMO) and has clients ranging from the United States Special Operations Command, The Aspen Fire Department, elite and amateur athletes, recovery groups and patients at her mind-body Intrinsic Space at Roaring Fork Neurology in Basalt, Co.
